From our football correspondent Crisis

Market20 Jul 2043

Barau come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Rangers International did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Match18 Jul 2043

Ikorodu City take the points off Rangers International

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad20 Jul 2043

Taiwo Abdullahi falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad20 Jul 2043

Taiwo Abdullahi gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad20 Jul 2043

Tempers go at Rangers International

Jamilu Ogunjobi was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom20 Jul 2043

Doors closed at Rangers International

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad25 May 2043

A fracture rules David Ekong out for 62 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Rangers International will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad25 May 2043

Jamilu Ogunjobi keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Rangers International may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match23 May 2043

5 matches without a win for Rangers International

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Rangers International are no longer polite ones.

Squad25 May 2043

Clinton Dombila falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings25 May 2043

Samuel Akinola runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad25 May 2043

Dennis Ihenacho in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Rangers International this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad13 Apr 2043

David Ekong breaks a bone — 105 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 105 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings13 Apr 2043

No sign of nerves from Taiwo Abdullahi at 21 — 8.18

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Taiwo Abdullahi did not need any: 8.18, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Clinton Dombila falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces13 Apr 2043

The crowd has taken to Taiwo Abdullahi

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match11 Apr 2043

Rangers International find a way past Warri Wolves

Warri Wolves made Rangers International work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings13 Apr 2043

Nobody could get near Victor Amoo

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings13 Apr 2043

Nothing got past Joshua Awaziem

18 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Squad13 Apr 2043

Another clean sheet for Kenneth Musa

8 shut-outs and counting. Goalkeepers are only noticed when they fail, and Kenneth Musa has given nobody the chance.
